Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Weekly doses of vitamin D preparations every 4 weeks after the start of calcimimetics administration and the change from the start of calcimimetics administration.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Percentage of patients achieving management targets for corrected Ca, P, and intact PTH every 4 weeks after initiation of treatment. Time to achieve pre-dialysis serum intact PTH concentrations of 60-240 pg/mL, the control target. Percentage of patients with intact PTH 30% reduction every 4 weeks after initiation of treatment.
